Hakkasan review by Janet White

My family booked a table on Saturday night as a birthday surprise for me. The table was booked for 9pm and we finally sat down at 9.20 - not a problem, we were perfectly happy having a drink at the bar and soaking up the atmosphere.

The food was excellent (even if some of the dishes were overpriced) and our waiter was charming.

However .... at 11.10 we were asked to hurry up as they needed the table. I complained to the waiter that we felt we were being harrassed to leave and he apologised but explained that he was under pressure from his manager to free up the table.

This is outrageous. It's not as if we ordered one dish and a coffee - our bill for 6 people was £500 - although that is not the point. A meal out should be a relaxing enjoyable experience and to be pushed out to bring in another sitting is just plain greedy. As much as I enjoyed the meal and the venue I will never go there again as long as they treat customers like an assembly line.
